We are not called to be theologians, philophyphors , the Lord Christ said "Follow me". He never lead anyone to a church, although he visited them, and never told any one to go to bible school, although he said, Study to show thyself approved, which was Paul, actually, study WHAT. Is't the bible enough.
The things that are most needed that are a matter of spiritual life/death to us, are not being done.
The Lord's prayer has not been recited in nearly every single church except in the church I grew up in, and listening to a Catholic Charasmatic channel, which recited the Lords prayer,
and the Church on line, Bethany missionary Church in California, on a daily basis it is said.
Hey it doesn't matter if some theologians said, it was used as a role model, then it is the right one, and the right
words, for those words to penetrate into our minds, our spirits and into our conscience.
To do this, they need to be recited until known by memory.
If it's okay to say a little prayer at nite, over and over, Lord lay me down to sleep let the angels keep watch over me, etc.
Then denying the Lords prayer is a lie, to catch you off guard, from what is really being stored, and kept in your inner most being, and that is The Truth of the Word, and the Word is the Sword.
When we pray " Our Father, it is not prayed because of pains, never having an earthly father, or just
yeah look what happened I lost the job, so where are you then. Bitterness,
But in reality, we love our parents, we forgive them, and they are family.
So God has made us family, through Jesus Christ.
We need to forgive, and trust him more than an earthly parent, because he said, "he loves us more than earthly parents."
Second;
When we say, lead us not into temptation, it takes us to a u turn, there's a lot of temptations, sways, and distractions, that we often are caught off guard, remembering those words, Lead me not into temptation, if we prayed this each day/ night. It would take effect.
Third
Deliver me from all evil.
This is the most powerful set statement that was given, said, declared, written by Jesus Christ.
To be delivered from ALL Evil, is not a light thing, it is not a powerless thing, it is declaring
we have been given this message, written in blood on the cross, delivered to us, to know that
all evil is under the subjection of Jesus Christ God's Son.
So do we believe this, do we ever pray this.
I will say, I'm at fault, and thought this is putting a covering upon us, yet we don't use it, and don't even believe it.
The fact is; "as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is; "
People think all the wrong things sometimes, and even say them, oh their parents died from this, and that, and there next.
Negatives, only pronounce it, and are a darkness, this mind set needs to be broken, it is nothing but a stronghold of
fear.
If we proclaim the positive's and believe it, say it, write it wear it what ever put it in your hat, your spirit will take a turn, into the right direction.
The Lords Prayer, is not a role model, it was breathed to us, from the heart of his Father, our God, our Father too, and worth saying from Jesus.
One thing is Jesus never talked but in parables,
Some things he expressed directly from his heart, clearly understood.
One of these is the Lord's Prayer,
the other is John 17 Jesus's Prayer, again.
There are no other known prayers, like this but many parables so we could easily unstained the hidden deep meanings, and yet us discard them, as the garbage pickup's the bibles at the schools,
we throw out things with the trash from our heart,
that are priceless, and treasure's.
